It doesn’t matter what your background is you should never be afraid to be who you are. If we can not see ourselves in each other we are lost. That doesn’t mean there isn’t evil in the world. But on the other side of that evil we must work to find respect and education so that none of us feel as if they are “the other.” The other side of the world is at war. It is devastating. But that is no excuse for any of us here or there to allow hatred win the day. If we claim we wish for peace we can start with ourselves and our actions towards our own neighbors. So I promise to always stand for my Muslim and Christian friends as much as I stand for any Jew or any one else for that matter. I find pride in myself as a Jewish child because I’m strong enough in it to also stand for you. If something about these words angers you or you turn to hate in your response know that I carry no hate in return and if you were wronged I would listen and hear you. We don’t have to all agree but we can honor each others right to exist and as a friend @yosephhaddad pointed out to me work for more than co existence but actually understanding and respect and one day hopefully admiration. Whoever made this video that night and sent it to me and @shaunanep thank you. I am a Jewish child. Whatever child you may be I hope you carry the same pride.
These kids are survivors of the nova music peace festival in Israel on Oct 7th. Over 300 were murdered and over 40 kidnapped while celebrating music. We as an industry stayed silent and this is what they are doing today. In the face of hate and loss they are choosing love and peace and trying to heal. They are music lovers and we have abandoned them because of politics. They deserve better from us. I gave 20 years to our industry and we have always used our voices to speak up for peace and against violence especially in regard to live music. This moment should be no different. These survivors and the 40 hostages are still waiting for our voices. #wecanstandforallinnocentpeople
Last night I was moved to anger because of the hope that I witnessed. I went to a healing camp for the survivors of the nova music festival set up by Israeli volunteers. It was the most beautiful thing I’ve seen here. These kids danced and sang and cried and held each other. They wished for peace and a better world while knowing they have to defend themselves in a war. While there I saw @shellydekel who is one of the 5 survivors from an attack by Hamas that killed 60 of her friends. She was there with her friends who survived the nova fest the same day on Oct 7. She herself was shot by Hamas on Oct 7. She is 20 years old and after being shot and losing so many friends I asked her how she is doing and is she angered by the silence of so many around the world. This was her response. She chose empathy for others. She said she hated no one. She said she understands “it’s trendy to hate Jews.” My heart broke hearing her. Please hear her words and understand who these humans are. You can have compassion for everyone in the region. Even after all she has been through… @shellydekel does. Hero. One last thing. Shelly when we met told me we met before. She came with her best friend Talia to the @justinbieber concert in Tel Aviv 7 years ago. She could have been any kid I have met at any concert anywhere over the years. We need to start seeing each others humanity and not our differences and not let those filled with evil seperate us.
Yesterday I had the incredible experience to spend time at @saveachildsheart and meet the amazing staff of doctors and hear them speak. It was a surreal experience. Half of the children treated with these life saving treatments are from the Palestinian Territories of Gaza and the West Bank. When I asked the doctor does he have any concern in this time of war treating children from families that might hate Israelis and Jews he gave the perfect answer “a child is a child.” This is humanity. This is the Israel I am seeing. Im happy to say I was so moved that the

Honored to be included in the @variety 500 alongside some incredible executives as one of the 500 most influential business leaders shaping the global media industry.
Today this incredible man Or showed me around his lifelong home called Kibbutz Be’eri. This was the sight of one of the worst massacres we have seen in recent history. Civilians of all ages murdered in their homes and on their playgrounds and in their elementary schools. Or himself lost family on Oct 7th but I was blown away by his words for the future. I talked today to so many Israelis including soldiers who all echoed this sentiment of a hope for better future. For him to say these words while showing me the site of his friends and family being murdered was more than powerful it was shocking and inspiring. Listen . Kibbutz Be’eri
Today… was…a… day. I am deeply glad I came. This is not a political trip. This is about humanity and support for those innocent lost on October 7th and the hostages still missing. What I saw and witnessed today will never leave me. I felt pain for the entire region. I saw it with my own eyes. I saw pain and sadness and grief while all at the same moment witnessing love and hope and conviction. I walked away overwhelmed and empowered all at once. So many stories… so many lives lost… so many saved. And for those of you that hate me for coming… I would come again and again, and you guessed it… again. Am Yisrael Chai! Israel
